Excerpt

There are a number of parallels between Moussa’s life experience and mine, and we have crossed paths on more than one occasion. We both have a secondary school formation from competitive and challenging boarding schools. Moussa went to a class-oriented boarding school in England where he acquired the needed survival skills, while I enrolled in an Argentinean elitist, boarding/military establishment from which only one in four candidates would graduate as Bachelor and Officer of the Army. Moussa and I have spent a considerable amount of time discussing our boarding schools, and the many sensical and non-sensical experiences we went through to the extreme boredom of our wives… …
